Safety Coalition building in a Blue City


I type this post in New Orleans Louisiana, a blue, meaning Democratic, city with alot of crime and a COVID19 mega dose from which it's slowly recovering.

As the 2020 presidential election gains momentum, I'd like to pay tribute to area folks with whom I do my grassroots security consulting. I call them "liberals with sense" because we don't argue ideology, we work to create safety and share supply through my homeless outreach.

These folks are Bernie Sanders supporters, to the left of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, but they nonetheless find common cause with a rightist (personally conservative, coalition building) brother who agrees with them that they shouldn't be beaten in the streets and robbed- a tragically frequent occurance.

For nearly four years I've helped grassroots leftists in my community deal with rampant crime, slow police response and indifferent elite liberals in local elected office and other positions of influence.

We, street level left and pavement right, are an example of safety coalition building in a blue, meaning Democratic, city.

What can Obama say about Biden's You ain't Black!, crack? He's checkmated unless he risks denouncing the comment, and possibly strengthening opposition, before also rallying offended troops back to vote for him. Cap Black

Vernon Jones: Standard Bearer for Conservative Black Democrats.

I don't think every Black person needs to be a Republican. The community needs Democrats fighting for effective public safety and other non liberal policy in that party too. Georgia Democrat Vernon  Jones is such a Democrat. He's made headlines and haters among elite liberals for his vocal support of Donald Trump, the Republican incumbent. He even was one of the speakers for the first night of the 2020 Republican National Convention. Conservative Democrats are part of a broad bipartisan coalition of Americans deeply concerned about the direction of our country. My only suggestion to Mr. Jones and others is to refrain from accusing Black Democrats of being on a plantation. This is a very harsh phrase for one Black person to ever use against another. Instead, attack the elite liberal plantation master mindset!!! They've gentrified their way into the good graces of our community. Point out how they today, like ones of old, are always around us. Highlight how they really see th

When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist.

When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist. I hear Individualism purists brows loudly wrinkling. Some snap, "Huh? What if I said, 'Support White Business?' You'd saying I was being racist!!!" Actually, I'd say Black people already support White owned businesses, to the yearly tune of billions of dollars. Clearly we're not racist with our money. When I say, Support Black business, it's not encouraging economic discrimination. Quite the contrary, it's promoting ideological decolonization. Elite liberals want Black people thinking we can't create anything for ourselves and must rely on "concerned" colonizers for leadership, goods and services. As a boy I had several Black owned convenience stores, a dry cleaner, barber shop, beauty salon, electronic repair shop, insurance company, gas station and more  within walking distance. I caught the tail end of a (soon shuttered) separate Jim Crow economy my parents and grandpare
